Amid a stretch of red-brick buildings, the Brooklyn restaurant Margot, right at the corner on a busy intersection, stands out. It’s blue: very blue, its two-story exterior painted the color of a pair of Prue Leith’s glasses, a chore coat worn by a server at a trendy natural wine bar, or a Molly Baz cookbook. […]

Restaurants in Tokyo are known for shokunin, the people who focus on a single skill to the point of obsession. These chefs dedicate their lives to the smallest details of a cuisine: the optimal temperature for the oil when frying tempura, the perfect texture for sushi rice, the ideal sear on grilled unagi. This long-term […]

Coming across them in movies or television, it’s easy to picture yourself seated next to Don Draper and Roger Sterling entertaining clients over martinis, or imagine overhearing John Travolta’s character order his steak “bloody as hell” in Pulp Fiction’s “wax museum with a pulse,” as he describes the restaurant. Steakhouses […]

It’s easy to identify a great steakhouse. It’s that instantly comforting place serving big hunks of meat, shrimp cocktails, cold martinis, and so on. But the quest to find the “best steakhouse” requires a follow-up question: “The best for what?”  It turns out, when you ask an Eater editor about their favorite steakhouses, we often […]
